So far as I know, (and you need to get it confirmed), the wheels can be used with no problem, but the Mk7 nuts won't fit the custom stud threads, so you'll need different nuts :)

You can fit custom wheels to the mk7 (rimotu66 has done it) so mk7 to custom should work but as Mr Altransit says you'll need the custom alloy wheel nuts.

Thats good that they will fit so with the wheel nuts do the nuts that work with these wheels on my MK7 not work on the custom ?

I think nuts are the same no matter what part of the world they originated

Yes your Custom 'alloy' nuts will fit with Mk7 wheels fitted to your Custom. The nuts are not transferable between Mk7's and Customs as the thread pitch is different.

Not to sure why you want to fit older wheels to your Custom though?
